Burkitt Lymphoma in Adolescents and Adults in Malawi: A Prospective Cohort Study

CONCLUSIONS: This is one of the best characterized prospective cohorts of non-pediatric BL in SSA, which occurred primarily among adolescents and young adults. Outcomes were worse than pediatric cohorts from the region, with most deaths due to progressive BL. This study highlights the need to develop effective treatments for non-pediatric BL with and without HIV in resource-limited settings, where high-intensity strategies from high-income countries may have limited applicability.DisclosuresFedoriw: ALEXION PHARMACEUTICALS: Consultancy, Honoraria.
